 Neomask
Respirater Mask Controls fumes, gases, particulates.
EXCELLENT RESPIRATOR FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION AGAINST
VAPORS, SMOKE, DUSTS, MISTS, AND FUMES AROUND THE HOME OR WORKPLACE. Reusable
The neomask outside material is made of high quality neoprene. Neoprene
is a hypo-allergenic and resiliently stretchable material. You can detach the
carbon filter and place the neoprene neomask into a washing machine. To dry it,
place in a dry cool place to let air dry. The inside material is an activated
carbon cloth filter (ACC). ACC was originally developed by the British Chemical
Defense Establishment (United Kingdom) as a highly efficient filter medium for
protection against nerve gas and other highly toxic vapors that might be used in
chemical warfare. The ACC Activated Carbon Cloth as been assessed and registered
to meet the quality requirements of ISO 9001, EN 46001, and ISO 13485

| How does the carbon remove the
contaminant? |
Once the contaminant enters the carbon, it diffuses
into the carbon matrix until it enters the smaller pores where the
adsorptive forces begin to take effect. Once it reaches a higher-energy
area, it can no longer migrate (or diffuse) because the adsorptive force
is stronger than the diffusional force. The contaminant is adsorbed to
the carbon surface by the adsorptive forces (the Van der Waals forces).
In this state, the contaminant is referred to as the absorbate.
| How much surface area does
activated carbon have? |
| A single pound of activated carbon has the
surface area equal to 125 acres. |
|
| What types of applications are
right for activated carbon? |
Activated carbon respirator masks are principally used to remove
low-levels (ppm or ppb level) of organic species from entering the lungs. EXCELLENT FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION AGAINST ORGANIC
VAPORS, SMOKE, DUSTS, MISTS, AND FUMES AROUND THE HOME OR WORKPLACE.

| How long do I wait to replace the
ACC Carbon Activated Cloth? |
| The ACC Carbon Activated Cloth typically lasts about
6 months under normal wear-and-tear conditions. 4-6 weeks under more
harsh/polluted/dusty conditions. Change ACC filter if you smell fumes
when wearing mask or when air flow through masks makes breathing more
difficult. |
